John C.
Malinski
Once upon a time, there was a man named John C. Malinski, whose extraordinary life began in the picturesque town of Sochaczew, Poland. Raised with love by his parents, Martin and Eva, along the banks of the Bzura River, John C. grew up with humble beginnings, but his destiny was always meant to be exceptional.
His legacy of strength and resilience was forged throughout his journey, and those who knew him wove stories about his unwavering spirit. John’s daughter, Julia, and his eldest son, Albert, preserved his legacy in an emotional book titled Little White FeathersThe book tells the story of his challenges and triumphs as he left Poland in 1887 with only 1.5 rubles in his pocket, embarking on a journey to the United States.
Along the way through Germany, he faced many trials and hardships, but John C.'s determination never wavered. One of the many testaments to his unbreakable will was when, upon reaching the German border, he paid a 1 ruble bribe to continue his journey.
Fortune smiled on John when he found work on a ship bound for New York. He worked tirelessly to reunite with his beloved wife and daughters in the land of opportunity in 1880.
In New York, his drive pushed him forward for another year until he finally reached his final destination in Le Sueur, Minnesota, where his legacy was laid to rest in 1950.
Generations later, his great-grandson Jon M. Malinski and his wife, Arlene, embarked on a new journey to Argentina. There, they built magnificent cellars and cultivated vineyards that produced exceptional wines at Piattelli Vineyards. In 2022, the charming Piattelli Wine Resort was established in Cafayate, a testament to their dedication to hospitality.
John C.'s legacy continued to evolve in Argentina, where Piattelli Distillery, located in Mendoza, became a symbol of tradition and innovation. This is how JOHN C. SPIRITS was born, a line of exceptional spirits that includes gin and vodka, crafted with care and precision.
